Fuji has continued the expansion of its X series lens line-up with the release of the XC 50-230mm OIS. This telephoto lens is well suited to Sports, Wildlife or any other types of photography that require extended zoom. This new XC lens is designed to be compact & lightweight without compensating on the optical quality you would expect from a Fujinon lens.

A compact telephoto zoom lens, a great second lens for your X-series Kit

For the popular and expanding Fujifilm X-Series comes this telephoto zoom lens, the XC 50-230mm f4.5-6.7 OIS. Ideal for the smaller and lighter cameras in the series, this lens has been constructed minus an aperture ring, just one of the decisions that keeps it as compact and lightweight as possible. A perfect partner in crime for your shorter standard lens, the 50-230mm will take care of business for you, if your business is Sports, wildlife, action and similar.

Assuring you don't have to sacrifice image quality in order to use such a budget-friendly, compact lens, Fujifilm have included both an superb optical construction and their very effective Optical Image Stabiliser. The Optics include Aspherical and Extra-low dispersion elements to render images sharp and detailed, while simultaneously free from aberrations and distortions. The stabiliser allows you to capture images at lower shutter speeds, in lower light conditions, without falling prey to camera shake - this is incredibly valuable when utilising the full extent of this long zoom range.

Your Fuji X-series camera is just as adept at taking HD movies as it is at stills and the 50-230mm is happy to support this quality, featuring a stepping AF motor, which manages to be fast and quiet, as well as deadly accurate. With this lens on the front of your camera you don't need to consider changing your kit as you change from taking pictures of a still statue in the park, to capturing footage of your kids as they scamper through the leaves - it is ready to tackle it all for you.

After reading reviews on the xc 50-230 lens compared with the xf 55-200 lens (another $600) and viewing comparison photos, I can't fault this lens. Firmware updates are required for aperture adjustments via the camera as this lens has no aperture ring, and my 4 stars for build quality is purely from other peoples feedback as I don't have an xf lens to compare with
